I wonder why some people want to believe in magical qualities of food—in this case, of food that can make one extremely ill. This mystical belief in food magic absolutely dumbfounds me.
I thought MERS is being linked to Camel’s Milk and drinking camel urine..not that the camels in the US came from the Mideast (one would hope, anyway).
Magic no, divine provision possibly. That’s fine — the trouble arises when that particular provision gets touted as a cure-all. That’s when the magic is ascribed (wrongly).

Mom, contrary to your ‘credentials’ you know nothing about raw milk. I know raw bovine milk, and it does not cause disease. There is a lot more disease caused by pasturized milk than by raw milk. And a lot of what is ‘credited’ to raw milk, maybe all of it, is from other food sources.
As for camel milk, I personally do not want it pasturized or ray. Dairy, as in bovine...Raw (Real) milk is good. And it is also healthy.
